Partner Network Advantage on the NAVBO Job Board
|
Why post your job on NAVBO's career center rather than going directly to the larger job networks?
Pricing on the mass job boards can vary, but to get a job noticed you typically have to sponsor it for $5 - $10 per day, which can add up quickly especially since you also pay for each click the job gets. When you add it all together, you could be spending up to $45 per day on your job posting. But, when posting a job on NAVBO's career center, you simply pay a flat fee! The Premium package includes our Exclusive Extended Partner Network - which means the jobs are broadcast to sites like ZipRecruiter and Jobs2Careers and more for a flat fee.
With special member pricing, you can post a job for as low as $300 with this Partner Network. You never pay for each click, just the flat fee on the NAVBO career center. In addition, the Premium package includes a 60-day job posting making it a great value. The Premium packages also offer features like having your company's logo featured on the career center homepage, having your job appear first in search results, and more.

Leaders' Lessons
(from the April 2 issue)
|
Welcome to the inaugural edition of Leaders' Lessons, the newest NAVBO NewsBEAT feature!
Regular readers of NewsBEAT will be familiar with the popular bimonthly
Lessons Learned feature in which junior faculty members share their experiences and advice to help trainees and new faculty navigate this important and sometimes difficult period of their career. Building on the success of Lessons Learned, Leaders' Lessons is a bimonthly forum in which senior members of the NAVBO community will share their wisdom and advice on how to succeed throughout one's career. Each article will feature curated responses from several experienced scientists on a single topic, offering a rich diversity of advice and opinions that we all can learn from.
This month's question is "How can faculty maintain trajectory throughout their career?" Several NAVBO Council Officers generously shared their advice for this first edition - many thanks to all of them for their insights.
In the coming months, we want to address YOUR questions - please send your suggestions to
anita@navbo.org.
And of course, we also need our senior members to contribute and will be reaching out to many of you in the coming weeks to ask for your lessons as leaders. As Linda advises below, "once you are established, it's time to give back"!
Leaders' Lessons: How can faculty maintain trajectory throughout their career?
Masanori Aikawa, Brigham & Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School
I have always tried to implement new technologies in my manuscripts or grant applications.
I have also focused on proposing new concepts rather than follow in others' footsteps.
I have tried my best to maintain mutual trust between leadership members of my department or division. If you support them, they may want to support your career development too.
I suggest to my trainees to have courage to innovate, which energizes the entire team so that you as a PI can fly high with them.
Ondine Cleaver, UT Southwestern Medical Center
How to maintain your career trajectory in science throughout your career? My answer is do what you love. Stick to the science that excites you, and put one foot in front of the other to get the answers you seek. It's not easy, be clear on that right upfront. But with a sense of humor, resilience, persistence, and creating peer groups for cross-critiques, venting and support, it can be done. Demand critical feedback, and thicken your skin so you can make use of it. Value and foster a love of discovery in your labs, simultaneously challenging them and appreciating their efforts. Write those papers and grants, and expect rejections. But keep submitting. Remember it's a marathon, not a race. So learn to enjoy running, and maybe the view along the way.

Kristy Red-Horse, Stanford University,Linda Shapiro, University of Connecticut Health Center and Cindy St. Hillaire, University of Pittsburgh visit our web site:

The
Science & SciLifeLab Prize for Young Scientists is an annual prize awarded to early-career scientists. The prize is presented in four categories:
* Cell and Molecular Biology
* Genomics, Proteomics and Systems Biology Approaches
* Ecology and Environment
* Molecular Medicine
Applicants are to submit a 1000-word essay that is judged by an independent editorial team organized by the journal Science. Essays are judged on the quality of research and the applicants' ability to articulate how their work would contribute to the scientific field.
As a winner, you will have your essay published by Science, win up to USD 30,000 and be invited to Sweden where you will receive your award, present your research and meet with leading scientists in your field.
Eligible entrants must have been awarded their doctoral degree in 2018 or 2019. The winners from each category will compete for the Grand Prize. The Grand Prize winner will receive 30,000 USD and be published in Science magazine. The three remaining category winners will receive 10,000 USD each and be published in Science online.

BMP10-mediated ALK1 signaling is continuously required for vascular development and maintenance
Angiogenesis
Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is an autosomal-dominant vascular disorder characterized by development of high-flow arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) that can lead to stroke or high-output heart failure. HHT2 is caused by heterozygous mutations in ACVRL1, which encodes an endothelial cell bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) receptor, ALK1. Read more

The protein tyrosine phosphatase PTPRJ/DEP-1 contributes to the regulation of the Notch-signaling pathway and sprouting angiogenesis
Angiogenesis
The Dll4-Notch-signaling pathway regulates capillary sprouting via the specification of endothelial tip cells. While VEGF is a potent inducer of Dll4 expression, the intracellular mediators that stimulate its expression remain poorly defined. Read more

Endothelial-epithelial communication in polycystic kidney disease: Role of vascular endothelial growth factor signalling
Cellular Signalling

Dear Friends and Colleagues,
The purpose of the collection is to offer a comprehensive overview of novel techniques and standard protocols to investigate the formation of vascular networks. The focus is on 1) methods to derive competent vascular cells from the differentiation of pluripotent stem cells; 2) vascular heterogeneity and protocols to generate organ- and tissue-specific vasculatures; 3) different bioengineering approaches to form functional vascular networks, including three-dimensional (3D) printing and microphysiological systems; and 4) methods to vascularize 3D engineered tissues as well as organoids.
Would you be interested in contributing? If you are, please submit an abstract here (
